That description reminds me of how someone I know once described improv, but it fits with LMM as well

Someone described him as “painfully Theatre Kid” and it was one of those things that instantly gave words to how I feel about the guy. It’s like this painfully forced enthusiasm.

I'm not usually in for marvel stuff but every time I read or hear something about Wanda vision, more questions start bubbling up in my head. Fine, I'll watch the drat thing

We've been binging Search Party and Drew looks identical to someone and its driving us crazy that we can't place it. At first I thought it was either Darren Criss as Andrew Cunannon, or milo yiannopoulos but I don't think its either. Help me out face blind goons.

I was really expecting the guy behind Transformers, modern-era Star Trek, The Amazing Spider-man 2, and The Mummy to deliver a solid hit with a television sequel to an iconic film. I'm shocked. I'm flabbergasted.

Search party sounds exactly like the kind of show I would hate very much at the start and slowly become more comfortable with as I spent time with the characters.

Also I'm glad I watched expanse s5 before reading this thread because the usage of spoilers (or lack thereof) in this thread is egregious. Goddamn

Speaking of Rick and Morty, whenever people talk about in media res I always think about this bit:

It's basically Harmon listing off his screenplay pet peeves but it's also just a great guide to avoid hacky writing in general. Whenever you write something, ask yourself: are you doing anything the Screenplay Guy would do?

I love all of the actors in the original but I really hope they keep it in the spirit of the Poirot/Holmes/Lecoq detective story heritage and only have Daniel Craig return in the sequels

invincible S1 was alright. the janky animation didn't bother me that much, they put the money where it counts. that said I'm really not a fan of some of the gratuitous gore. it's not so much an issue with the television series as it is with the source comic. I'm not familiar with it, but... ew. there's a certain line when it comes to depiction of visceral and psychic violence in pop media that separates the realistic from the absurd, and some of the violence crossed that line and took me out of it completely. there has to be a happy middle ground between this and bloodless pg-13 nonsense

muscles like this! posted:

The people behind Dark have another Netflix show coming, 1899. It takes place on a ship traveling from London to New York where partway through the voyage a person is discovered adrift in the ocean. The characters will be from all over Europe and the show will be multilingual with characters talking in their native language. Andreas Pietschmann (adult Jonas) is going to be in it and they're going to be using the same kind of virtual set tech that The Mandalorian uses.

Probably not coming out until next year since it is currently filming now.

that's sick as hell

I guess I meant to say nothing about her character was interesting and it didn't help that her acting sucked

Mandalorian is the most well-received star wars related bit of media to happen since the knights of the old republic video game. Disney will make every financially-responsible attempt to expand the very narrowly-defined IP of star wars that they can think of, up to and including showcasing the backstories of every secondary character in every star wars story in an infinite fractal like pattern until the end of time or capitalism
